57 | How About Some Jesus? How the Story of Saul to Paul Can Encourage the Modern Christian Wife | Spiritual Encouragement | Christian Podcast

This week's episode was one I felt that I needed to make, even though it doesn't match our normal theme of talking about rhythms and routines in our lovely homes. 
Last week was a very emotional week for not only me, but for our world as well. So many dark things have happened in life, many dark things aren't even being brought to life, but I think after hearing one bad thing after another on the news a lot of people cracked. 
This episode is not a political one. So please know that if you are not wanting to hear political opinions, you are safe with this episode. For the majority of the episode I discuss the life of Paul. I have been reading Colossians, and after the events that were brought to light and shared / heard around the world, I was able to read Colossians in a way I have never read before. I pray that this episode encourages you and motivates you to dive deep into the word of God. I pray that HIS voice will be far louder than mine. 
 
I think a lot of us have been experiencing a wake up call. A wake up call that I'm calling a Spiritual nudge. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode, as well as get to know you more as a sister in Christ, so please feel free to reach out via email: 
shopallthingslovelyco@gmail.com 
 
The piano at the end of the music was produced and composed by me. I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to say, but please don't steal it. 
 
Please forgive the annoying puppy dog sounds you may be hearing through your earphones. Ember wanted to say hello... a lot. 
 
You are lovely, and so is your home and you are a good person. 
Jesus Loves You.

Why rotating sounds (Hatch or phone) beats alarm fatigue
